Hello! Hello! My name is Morgan!

I recently quit my 9 - 5 desk job and am now traveling around. I'll be starting in Australia and then heading to Japan, and maybe back to Italy for some language practice, before heading to Alaska to guide hikes for the summer in Denali National Park.

In my free time, I devour podcasts, read, hike, swim, laugh, go to concerts, have long conversations about nothing, and try to keep on learning Italian and French.

These days I'm just trying to appreciate life, whether it be as small as a warm breeze blowing my hair back, or as significant as meeting all of you wonderful people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's important to me as a traveler to not be a tourist abusing a space. Everywhere I go there is a community that loves and appreciates their home, and I want to respect their way of life and would be thankful to be able to experience that as well. I find it much more meaningful to visit someone and have a shared experience, that one day I may be able to reciprocate for you in my home, or at the very least another Couchsurfer in our community.
